Jessica Timczyk – Looking Outwards 6

Created 2013 by Martin Krzywinki, the art work above, called the Faces of Randomness is a digital work created by drawing lines between the digit transitions of sixteen different random 1,000 digit numbers. I find this work very interesting because though all the numbers are different and random, the resulting circles look oddly similar even though they are all in fact unique. I suppose that the artist used an algorithm to generate sixteen random 1,000 digit numbers because it would be infeasible to obtain them from the real world. The artist’s sensibilities can be seen in the placement and colors chosen to make up the work, making it pleasing to the eye to look at.
